[ video | action ]

Who: Keith, open to anyone (party section is open to positive CR by invite from Shiro and/or Lance who got the list from Keith, but negative CR can crash if you're willing to deal with IC fallout from annoyed and protective Voltrons and friends... LOL / party section is also mingle style and will have a special header in the comments, so feel free to mingle and threadjack each other)
Broadcast: yes, video
Action: Huntress, planetside (including birthday camping trip near Alkaline Lake), open to coming to visit other ships if wanted or random encounters on the Iskaulit
When: Mostly Oct 23! This is his b-day post and late-October/early-November catch-all.

=====

[When the video came up, Keith was adjusting the angle, and then he sat back to better address the camera. He was sitting in the lounge on the Huntress, and looked super awkward. He didn't like it when Coran thought this was a good thing to try with the team back home, and he didn't really like it now, either. But, he knew it was good for them to be able to get what they needed and wanted here in the Fleet.]

So, I was curious finally, and I looked at that kiosk thing with the fanmail stuff. Apparently, I had some messages, so I'm going to answer a couple.

[He scrolled through the screen until he found one. The way he read them was kind of flat. There was no attempt at acting here.]

happy birthday, keith! if you could ask for three wishes today, what would they be?

Does getting back home count? [He shrugged.] Not that here is bad. A lot's happened here that has been good, and I wish I didn't have to leave behind. But what I do back home? That's important, too. And I always thought of that as more important than anything else I might have wanted. [Mostly. Things with Lance were good, and he really wanted to just stop the whole mission and ask his questions when he found his mom, but neither of those things happened back home. The situation with Lance was a regret, for sure. But, he was glad he finally got his answers about his mom, at least.

He scrolled again, repeating a question he saw more because he was weirded out that someone even thought to ask than any other reason.]


when will you show us your Galra transformation? I think purple would look super duper cute on you

I... I don't have one? [That he knew of. He wasn't even really aware of things that had happened back home.] I mean, at least, I don't think so. I've never turned purple, anyway. [He grimaced a little, definitely not comfortable with that, and moved on quickly.]

Is it true you’re secretly afraid of a cucumber ambushing you?

[He stared for a second.]

I have no idea what that means.

[Moving on...]

Dear Keith, since your armor suit and your pants are so tight, have you considered going commando? I bet your parts and Lance would really appreciate it!

My... parts? [He shook his head.] I'm not even going to answer that one. Honestly... [Annoyed look.] ...that's no one else's business.

[Respond to the video here!]

[Of course... there was a crate in the cargo bay with Keith's name on it. He was wary, but he finally gave in and opened it. Inside were a few small things in a smaller box packed together, and then two larger boxes, one item each.

In the one smaller box, a few items were packed together:
panther plush
pink hippo cat costume for Snow
leadership for dummies book
hair gel (a hint?)

Then two other larger boxes packed in with the first, each with one item:
voltron cat condo (some assembly required)
red hippo trash can

Keith was not impressed...

Care to find him opening the "gift"?]


======

[Shiro and Lance sent out a mass group texts to anyone Keith was friends with (that Keith told them about, but that's pretty much his entire friends list). The afternoon started off with a costume birthday party for Halloween, and eventually turned into a night of relaxation near the lake, camping around a bonfire with spooky stories, s'mores, and other nice fun stuff throughout the two parties. And, because it was a costume party, Keith actually did have a costume.

Mingle in this thread!]

Hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] duches77 or PM my journal here if you have ideas that aren't in the post and want to try something else and plot it out, but it's not necessary. I'm open! You don't have to stick with a header if you think something doesn't fit! I can roll with the punches. Have fun!}

Is that a yes? We can look for some art supplies in the planet if it is.

[Group project! BONDING! He really likes the idea.]
